I got FOUR of these right back to back. The first two were nuked as
spam (HTML only ... automatically labelled as spam and nuked, leaving
only an entry in the system logs).
How the other two made it to the list, I don't know...but I know what
I'm about to do about it (see below, but first, a bit of fun).

Silly spammer! If we can't see your e-mail, we can't see your words
telling us to click the mouse on "here". :-)

Spammers are not my friends...ever.

I think not. I'm not in the mood to put up all of the extra screens
(inbound and outbound), etc..... Besides, clicking on a random word
in an xterm window (unless the version of Mutt I'm using was compiled
with S-Lang, which it wasn't) would be useless. I'd have to fire up
Mozilla for that.

I did say no...weren't you reading? Stupid spammers.

No, I have a better idea...I just added this to ~/.procmailrc:
--------------------------- CUT HERE ---------------------------

definitely_spam_taggedmail.com
:0:
